In case you missed it, America elected her first African-American president...Barack Obama! As I watched his speech on election night, I noticed his use of the expression "Yes we can!" OK, I know that was his campaign slogan, but as I watched him standing there, the camera so close in on his face, I began to think about that phrase, "Yes we can." And as I thought of that phrase, I thought of the numerous times in my own life that I have stepped to my own self made doors marked "You can't" and I haven't. And what does it take for this guy to get that "yes I can" philosophy inside his head? Because he has had to get that inside his head. And what will it take for me to get it inside my head? Of course the "You can't" doors have to go.And what if a nation, from coast to coast, started to get rid of the "you can't" doors?
My husband and I are leaving tomorrow for a two week vacation. During that time, I want to do some mental house keeping or maybe even remodelling. I'm taking out the "you can't" doors and installing some arches... that's a little better entry into the land of possibilities. Is this a great country or what?
